does the 87 have a stock intercooler and if so can i start the car without it i didnt get it with the cars it was in parts when i got it and i am just wondering

You can actually drive the car without it. Your just not going to boost.
Has no one ever driven there car after a hose pops off.
EHumble;1927466 said:lol im sorry but this is kinda funny. but to be helpful, without the intercooler, the turbo is just pushing air straight out into the atmosphere, then the intake is just sucking in air at atmospheric pressure, so its seeing a crap ton of air coming in before the turbo through the afm, but its not getting that air into the engine, therefore dumping fuel. Even if it would start, which I doubt, you run the risk of hydrolocking your motor. which is no bueno.

hvyman;1927556 said:Yes you can. Just because I have a 1j now doesn't mean I havnt had a 7m before.
When you pop off a pipe you will get loud turbo spool sound, black smoke, and no power when you try to boost on a 7m. Also will get code 34 and the car is perfectly drivable with light throttle.
For all you who dont believe go take off a ic pipe, start your car, and go drive around the block.
And this is the tech section. If you don't know for a fact don't post.

If you want to start just to move the car from the shop, you have to unplug the maf. If you want to move around you need to route the maf to the intake.
